or fourteen months, the two largest cities in Syria have been relatively revolution free. No more! The big merchants of Damascus and Aleppo have been on strike for 4 days straight in protest and objection to the Houla massacre. Further, they have had massive, rip-roaring protests. From a historic perspective, as the merchants go, so does Syria. Assad is finished, it's just a matter of when and how. Start planning victory parties!

Americans all across the Unites States are holding emergency rallies in support of the Syrian people in light of the Houla Daycare Massacre. Over 50 children were slaughtered by hand in a daycare. In New York, a demonstration was held in front of the United Nations building asking the United Nations to be more aggressive on Syria and to stop turning a bling eye to the plight of freedom loving people in Syria.
